Project X6H will go on production in March 2017, these models are intended for press fleets, advertising and brand executives.

The release should occur between April and May.

Rendered images shows close resemblance to the European Tipo.

At the rear, the changes in relation to the European Type are on the back cover. The lid of the trunk will be more horizontal and the nameplate was moved to the bumper. In fact, the piece also won new drawing and boomerang-shaped reflectors. Another change is the back door that does not invade the column C as the European model. The lanterns also have different format, at X6H they are finer in the part that extends to the lid of the trunk. At the bottom of the flashlight, there's a crease on cover game with the lights.

Design looks spot on. In this age of technology, at least the projector lights are a must. It has been given a miss from the images posted above.

Interesting to see when Fiat will get this to India (that is if at all they want to get it here).

IMO the design seems simple nothing special. The front is good but rear is plain old gen especially if we look side profile from B pillar there is nothing special. Considering this from Fiat they seems to have gone backwards in time unlike in the past when they have given timeless beauties like Palio, Punto which were also dynamically accomplished.
May be during the design phase they have given more importance to practicality, space management rather than beauty, dynamics. They may have taken the critics of Punto Linea seriously and addressed interior space issue. Hope they also bring in better slick manual and auto gearbox.
However Fiat should not discontinue Punto Linea so that there are options for both enthuastic as well as general people.
There is no harm in wishful thinking!

Looks like a poor man's Tipo. Similar design, but without all the design elements that make the Tipo a looker. Not to mention the front end that looks a bit like Celerio.

Sigh...here I am, planning to dispose my Punto in Jan 2019 considering it as the last Fiat in my life, and reading this..

On a serious note, they need to hurry up a lot. The Fiat dealership ecosystem in India at present can be declared as endangered. This status will turn to extinct unless Fiat launch some appealing products like this, fast!
